In the Gang (Sapnap x reader)

mystery (15)

"I'm assuming you want me to drive?"

Alex looks at all of you, sitting in the living room watching some random cartoon. George was on the floor, messing with some weird version of a rubics cube, Karl watching him over his shoulder from the chair behind him. You and Nick were on the couch, his arm wrapped around your shoulders.

"Ya, I'm too tired to drive"

Karl fakes a yawn, putting his hand over his mouth. Alex grabs the keys off the counter, slipping on a jacket.

"I'm just going without you guys if you don't get your asses up"

Karl kicks the rubics cube out of George's hand, who slaps his knee in response. You and Nick look at eachother and laugh, standing up and walking over to Alex. You all pile into the car, Alex and Karl in the front, you Nick and George in the back. Nick lightly wraps his hand around yours, keeping his gaze out of the window. Karl couldn't stop moving, his excitement for the day ahead bubbling.

You guys had all planned to go on a hike, something George was not happy about. You absolutely love hikes, so you were sharing Karl's excitement. Nick was just happy to go with you guys, Alex just likes anything with his friends. You guys pull over, parking near a broken tree and lock the car. You and Karl walk over to the map, excitedly pointing out different locations to eachother and plan out where you would go. Alex just stood a bit behind you guys, enjoying your excitement as George complained to Nick.

Nick turns away from George, looking down at his phone.

"Fuck"

He muttered under his breath, hoping George didn't hear him.

"Nick? Is everything okay?"

Nick bites his lip, turning his phone away from George.

"Uh yeah, just my mom, I'll be right back"

Nick walks away from George, leaning against the car. He lets out a deep sigh, reading over the text. That same fucking number had texted him, this time it was short, but it made his blood run cold. Enjoy your hike Nicky poo
Nick paused in thought, looking around him, but only seeing you guys and a couple with their dog. He looks back at his phone, deciding not to answer and forget about it. He pockets his phone and heads back over to you.

When Nick comes back over, you notice his cheeks have slightly less colour than normal. You reach up and place your hand softly on his cheek.

"You okay? You look a bit pale."

He grabs your hand, pulling it from his face, but not letting go of it.

"Ya, I think you're going crazy."

You just role your eyes, deciding to let it go for now, but glancing over at him every once in a while.

"Look, the bridge is just ahead"

You follow the direction of Alex's point. You look him dead in the eye. He lowers his finger and takes a deep breath.

"Last one there eats toes!"

He barely lets you finish your sentence before he starts running. You speed after him, quickly catching up. You both reach the entrance of the bridge at the same time, panting and holding your sides. The other three catch up.

"So who won?"

Karl wiggles his eyebrows, waiting for someone to answer. You and Alex share a glance and realize that you weren't sure. You can't accept losing, so you turn to face the others.
